How will African American Woman vote in 2008?
With a female presidential candidate and a black male presidential candidate how will African American women vote?
How will the people vote? African American women are in favor of education, health care, employments and childcare. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been in favor of the African American community since the beginning. However, Clintonis said to be more experienced while Obama is said to be more honest. Clinton may have the upper hand in the African American community, because of her husband former president Bill Clinton. When Bill Clinton was in office he was highly favored by the African American community. He was dubbed the “the first black president.” The same goes for his wife Hillary Clinton who has the support from the African American community as well.
When it comes to Barack Obama the people question his “blackness”. Although the people trust him they feel he lacks in experience, especially when it comes time to clean up the Bush Administrations mess.
Although Obama has the support from Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, and Sidney Poitier the new question is will it be enough to win?
